MOSFET problem

The parameters of MOSFET:

Vt=1V
kn'=μCi=0.1[mA/V]
λ=0.02
L=4u
W=20u



Here's the formula for saturation



I don't know where to start and I been thinking what to do for almost 1:30 hours. I tried plugging in the values into the formula and then solving for VG to get the RG values, but that doesnt' work either. What can I do to start solving this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

I guess my question is what's the relationship between RG and ID
From my textbook, section MOSFET Small-Signal Amplifier

"RG establishes the Q-point on the load line.

If we assume that v_in=V_in*sin(wt), the gate-to-source voltage will have a sinusoidal signal superimposed on the dc quiescent value. As the gate-to-source voltage changes over time, the Q-point will move up and down the line.
Moving up and down the load line translates into a sinusoidal variation in the drain current."




So. RG sets up the Q-point. Then everything else oscillates around that point.

In saturation we use this equation to find Id current

\(\Large I_{D} = \frac{1}{2}\mu_n C_{ox} \frac{W}{L} (V_{GS} - V_{TH})^2(1 + \lambda V_{DS})\)

Thanks a lot man. I feel pretty stupid now that it was right before me eyes. Thanks again.
No need to feel stupid. Sometimes we all need a nudge to see something that right in front of us. I've had more than my share of, "Doh!" moments and I'm sure I will have even more as my senility deepens! :p
